Great location & house, could use some cleaning
Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The location is great, and the accommodations were fine for a solo traveler. Kendra was quick enough to respond to issues. I preface this by saying that I live in an 150 year old house, and work in the outdoors, however I was a bit disappointed by the amount of bugs inside. Beyond the 20-30

Tiny, but cute and quiet
The location of the retro house made it a great choice for exploring downtown Golden. It was within walking distance if needed or a couple-minute drive. I also appreciated how quiet the neighborhood was. It's on the east side of Golden, which I wasn't familiar with and I was impressed by the lack of noise over there. That being said, it's an older house and it comes with the quirks older buildings have: short door frames, a few drafty areas around the door, which also let bugs in, and some unexpected noises from the plumbing. My husband found himself bonking his head during the night when making trips to the kitchen and bathroom. Kendra was a delight to deal with. She was very communicative about expectations, helpful hints about the house, and how to access the property to park. For the price, I don't think you can beat this property. Having full use of a kitchen, dining room, and separate living and bedroom areas made it far superior to a hotel at the same price point.

Cozy, comfortable, and affordable property in a great location.
The property is promoted as "retro", which is accurate. Perhaps rustic and in need of updating/renovation would also be accurate. Even so, my wife and I found the place to be very comfortable and clean. Perhaps its greatest selling point is its location -a short walk to the center of Golden. If you want/are accustomed to LUX, this is not the place for you. However, the price to value ratio is as good as you can find!

Perfect little house in a great location. My wife and I stayed for one night. Easy to walk the whole downtown area from the house. Coors brewery is right there as well. Cool decorations in the house. Kendra was great as well.

Clean retro cottage with great location
This property was very clean and as described in the listing. It has one window air conditioner in the dining room area. Ceiling fans in the bedroom, living room, and dining area help to distribute the cooler air. This is in a great location walking distance from to downtown Golden.

Retro Visit!
I only give a four because when we were there, it was warmer weather and it took quite sometime to cool the house down. The windows do not open. It is small and the bed is against the wall so if one has to get up in the night….well….that can be a little interesting!! We did not cook there because so close to downtown and the many restaurants. Don’t let the outside deter you! Btw…neighbor is nice too!

Great Location for any Golden visit.
My wife and I were in Golden to visit our son at Mines. This property was in a great location to walk everywhere we needed to go. Kendra was extremely responsive & accommodating thru the entire process. The property was just as it is described. The only thing I would recommend is that tall people might want to stay elsewhere -- the bed was tiny for us who are used to a King Sized bed. I also hit my head on a doorway that was not made for tall people (I am 6'4") but that is certainly not the fault of the property, LOL. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend to anybody who needs a location in Golden that is within walking distance of Mines & downtown area.

First trip to CO
The best thing about the property is its location. We were walking distance from all the restaurants and shops in Golden. Would be a great place for 2 people. There were 4 in our party and we were pretty tight. In all fairness, I had planned for two when I booked the property. I most likely would not book this property again as I prefer more modern amenities.

Cute and cozy
Kendra was a great host. She was quick to answer and address any questions or concerns we had through our stay. The home is an older house that is in a perfect location for downtown Golden and is steps away from tubing/creek access. It's on the small side so I wouldn't recommend any more than 2 guests at a time. It was clean and well kept but be warned since it is an older home we found a few creepy crawlies along door ways/cracks. Just give your shoes a good shake before wearing them.

Perfect Stay
My 9 year old and I had a wonderful stay for 6 days. The location was fantastic. We could walk so many places. The house was the perfect size. The bed was so comfortable, we relaxed easily in the living room and did a little cooking in the kitchen. The retro theme was fun, too.

Super cute!
What a great place!! So much character and charm in this sweet little home. Bed was comfy and water was perfectly hot. Kitchen nicely equipped. I was in town to meet my new granddaughter so when I wasn’t with her I had a wonderfully relaxing stay curled up on the couch watching the huge TV with the little electric fireplace. If I had been feeling adventurous and not so lazy there was plenty to do close by. Host was great with communication as well! Hope to visit again! Loved this place!!

Loved the retro house!
The retro house is beautiful and so very cozy. They thought of everything. The house has so much history, I would love to know. The location is perfect, walked into town every night. Loved Woody's. Trails right out the door and easy access to different sights to see. Red Rock was amazing! Thank you for a glorious stay.
